## Product Overview

TIKSIG enables enterprises to send, receive, and analyze millions of SMS messages through intelligent SMPP routing with 99.97% uptime. The platform includes AI-powered campaign optimization, A/B testing, real-time delivery reports, and comprehensive developer APIs. Each enterprise gets fully isolated data, billing, and configuration.

Unlike HTTP-based SMS APIs (Twilio, Vonage, etc.), TIKSIG connects directly to carrier SMSC gateways via the SMPP v3.4 protocol — delivering telecom-grade reliability, lower per-message costs, and sub-second delivery latency at scale.
